NetEqualizer 3000 Series Data Sheet

The NetEqualizer 3000 Series is our standard and workhorse bandwidth shaping solution suitable for
most businesses. Designed for deployments from 10Mbps to 1Gbps, it is a rack-mountable unit
capable of handling up to 20,000 network users on internet links of up to 1 gigabit.
Just like all of our NetEqualizer models, the NE3000 performs QoS through our proprietary “equalizing” technology, utilizing
algorithms to achieve fairness across network users. Our NetEqualizer product family optimizes critical network bandwidth
resources for any organization that purchases bandwidth in bulk and then redistributes or resells that bandwidth to disparate
users with competing needs.
